Keeping It Simple

Finally got round to formulating a new long term plan:

1. Work like fuck until July 2009 when all the debts should be paid off

2. Save like fuck until March 2010 when He turns 30

3. Fuck off around the world for as long as we can afford

4. Come home, formulate new plan

Though to be quite honest, I wish we could just skip straight to point 3 and never need to worry about 4.

Life Has a Funny Way...

I’ve got news, and it ain’t good.

My department is being split up and integrated into other sections of the university. What does this mean? That I’ll lose all the people I enjoy working with, and will probably have to accept a changed job description at best, or be subtly forced into leaving at worst. They won’t be making anyone redundant, or so they claim, but I don’t doubt that they will offer people stupidly inappropriate jobs in order to push them to resign (no payout if you resign…)

I knew everything was going too well. I just knew it. We’d finally reached a position where we could start making inroads into paying off the debt, start relaxing a bit, etc etc… But now this.

I don’t know why I’m surprised. The universe, or fate, or whatever, likes to fuck us. More than anything, I’m angry with myself for believing that life might finally be getting onto a good track. How could I be so stupid? You'd think I'd know better by now...
